This is a really stylish couch.  We purchased for our formal living room that is combined with our formal dining room and adds a nice touch, but hasn't gotten much traffic yet and probably won't.  Kids have sat on it and said that they find it comfortable.  It was easy to put together (my 16 year old and her boyfriend assembled it).  The only thing that I thought was a bit unsturdy was the places that velcro together.  Overall, we like it.
